Sample diet plan

Post by cyrax_101 »

Hey there folks ! Just wanted to get everyone;s views if I am doing things correctly, so instead of starting a journal (or continuing existing one) I thought I'd just leave a sample diet plan

Breakfast (7am) - oatmeal + 1 egg + green tea with lemon

10:30am - tuna sandwich (wholemeal bread, lettuce , tuna , onions, fat free cheddar cheese slice , green peppers... no mayo, no mustard)

2pm - chickpeas, apple, chicken salad (no mayo, no dressings)

4pm- few almonds just as snacks

5pm - workout
6:30pm- post-workout protein shake, 1 banana

8pm - chicken salad, veggies

Cheers !!

(I'd add more whites and a Yolk, so go for about 3 Whites and a Yolk, as the protein is a bit low.)

10:30am - tuna sandwich (wholemeal bread, lettuce , tuna , onions, fat free cheddar cheese slice , green peppers... no mayo, no mustard)

(Not a problem, but Tuna is high mercury, so limit to 3x a week and consider a substitute, like Chicken or Turkey as examples. I'd also have the meal around 10, so you can have another at 12.)

2pm - chickpeas, apple, chicken salad (no mayo, no dressings)

(Fine)

4pm- few almonds just as snacks

(fine as long as the portion size is okay)

5pm - workout
6:30pm- post-workout protein shake, 1 banana

(Fine)

8pm - chicken salad, veggies

(Fine)

I usually have hard-boiled eggs for breakfast. Problem is, I am not someone who can throw food away. So I know that I am supposed to have more than 2 egg whites for breakfast but its super-hard for me to throw the yolk away because however harmful it might be, it is still food.
Any ideas to help me with that ??

Tha't one method. Add some Chicken or Turkey as examples. However, if you Use Omega-3 Eggs, (Chickens fed some Flax), the Yolk contains Omega 3, whereas normal ones contain Cholesterol, usually in a 60 / 40, LDL / HDSL ratio approximately.

I have eggs from chicken fed with the usual feed, so I guess having more than 1 egg is out of the question.
What about boiled chicken breast or turkey breast slices?
Or I could have a mini-meal between 7 am and 10:30 am ; something rich in protein but low in carbs (complex or simple) and (of course) low in fat .
Is that advisable ?

You can also influence it with things like Omega Fats, Whole-grains, (Beta-glucan), plus Plant Sterols can too.
